They said WHAT!

I don't know whether it's just my warped mind or if someone at the advertising agency that produced this commercial has an even more twisted mind than mine!

There is a public service announcement on T.V. to conserve energy and the gist of the message is that we should turn off the lights when they are not being used.

Good, but over the talking they flash a series of (subliminal) messages to "flick off" the lights.

These last on the screen for about 1/3 of a second and are repeated about four or five times in a row.

The only problem is that the message is in capital letters and what you SEE is this message.... FLlCK OFF..... FLlCK OFF ..... FLlCK OFF! (only when you see it for a third of a second that's not what you see.... see!)

Now, is it just me, or are there nefarious forces out there bent on corrupting the unsuspecting. After all, we wouldn't want Granny to suddenly get upset! Would we? (Don't kid yourself, Granny can probably out-swear and out-drink most of you young whipper-snappers!)
